Tributes poured in Monday with tweets and messages of condolence from politicians including President Obama, sporting stars Pele, Magic Johnson and Billie Jean King and a host of golfing greats.

“We just lost one of the incredible people in the game of golf and in all of sports,” Palmer’s old golfing rival and friend Jack Nicklaus said, according to the Associated Press. “He was one of my best friends, closest friends, and he was for a long, long time. I will miss him greatly.”
